Soon, Xiang Jian, the leader of the Xiang clan, led a batch of winter clothes to Hu'an Palace. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the whole big tribe, the clothes made by the Xiang family are the best, and Mrs. Hu'an Palace tried the new clothes and was very satisfied, which of course was also a happy thing for Yuyu, so she set up a small banquet to entertain Xiang Frugal.

Yu Yu saw the beauty of the eldest son who came with Xiang Jian, who was thirteen years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and his lips were painted with Zhu, and secretly praised "a beautiful young man".

Seeing the Xiang clan, Yu Yu remembered two people related to the Xiang clan, one was Xiang Yin, the only son of Xiang De, the former head of the Xiang clan who died in the Guzhang War.

Yu Yu had seen Xiang Yin at the age of 14 last year, seeing that he had a very good physique, practiced martial arts for many years, and his martial arts had already achieved a small success.

The highest level of swordsmanship of the Gu clan is not passed on, Hu Anbo has an order, and he has seen Xiangyin's martial arts, and found that he has a very strong foundation, his qualifications are quite high, and he is very impressed, and he promises to teach him.

The other person that Yu Yu remembered was none other than Park Yancang, a warrior of the Xiang clan who was the first to rush up the mountain to rescue Gu Bo when he was trapped in the Piercing Rock Mountain.

Just after the New Year, Yu Yu made a special trip to invite Park Yancang to Hu'an Palace as a guest, and after talking with him for a long time, Yu Yu was very happy, and let Yu Jian try his martial arts, which was recognized by the first sword of Hu'an Mountain.

With the Savior's great merit, Uncle Gu made an exception and promoted Pu Yancang to be the 500th Captain.

This Pu Yancang, whose name is Tonghai, was a warrior of the Xiang clan at the time, and his original hometown was Tongxiang Mountain, which is dozens of kilometers away from Hu'an Mountain.

The Pu clan of Tongxiang Mountain belongs to a branch of the Ba people, but does not belong to the White Tiger Ba people, and belongs to a small branch called Ban Yuman in later generations. The main migration place of Ban Yuman is in Langzhong today, along the Jialing River, because of the use of wooden planks as the Luo, charging into battle, so it is named.

There is no evidence as to why this branch of the Park family entered Tongxiang Mountain.

Pu Tonghai was born in a small river called the Salamander River, his parents are the subordinates of the Pu family of Tongxiang Mountain, there is no surname, one year, his biological father went to the mountain to hunt with the leader of the Park family, the leader accidentally fell into the snake poison of five steps, the father of Tonghai sucked the snake venom of the master, saved the master's life, but he was poisoned and died. The master felt that the slave sacrificed himself as the savior, and the surname of Zhun Tonghai was Pu, and the identity of Li'er also changed.

There is a kind of fish in the salamander river, its shape is like a fish, four-legged, its voice is like a baby, the local people call it "mermaid", also known as "baby fish", it is the giant salamander, because of its special call, although it is a delicacy, the local people do not eat this fish, think that the food is ominous, but it is not as respected as their totem snake, and some people eat it quietly.

When Park Tonghai was seven years old, he caught a baby fish more than two feet long, but this baby fish was different from the others, it was still four-legged, the body looked like a macaque in front of it, and the back looked like a dog, and its voice was like a mandarin duck barking.

When he arrived at the Salamander River, he happened to meet a man who often came from other places to collect mountain goods, and the man said to him: "This fish will not be sick if it is eaten, and if it is sent to the mouth of Longxi, it will definitely be exchanged for a lot of salt." ”

As soon as Pu Tonghai heard that it was a good deal, and that it was not the first time that the person who collected the mountain goods came to the local area, and he had been to Longxikou, he thought that he could find a way back, so he believed it was true, did not report to his mother, and followed the mountain goods collector to Longxikou, and was coaxed and frightened to Yushui Salt Spring and sold it to Yanqing.

Tonghai disappeared, and his mother cried bitterly. People thought that he had caused a disaster because he had caught a baby fish, so the people of the Park clan no longer dared to catch it. To this day, there is still a giant salamander in this small river, which is a national second-class protected animal and a national treasure-β€”β€” which is a later story.

Pu Tonghai entered the Yushui Salt Spring, ate a full meal and killed the mighty stick, only to realize that the big thing was not good, the wood was already in the boat, and he couldn't stand the intimidation and scolding, so he had to give in and became a Zhaoding, that is, a salt worker, and became a salt slave.

The salt workers are extremely hard, and there are people who run away from time to time, so they are very strict, although Tonghai has the heart to escape, he hates not a chance. First of all, he was arranged to do some small chores, mixed with food, and a little longer, carried salt, boiled salt, and did all kinds of hard work.

Because of his strong endowment, after a few years, he has developed a good body of strength and extraordinary arm strength. After suffering many losses, he also learned to please the foreman and the salt officer.

Seeing that he was strong and had no shortage of heart and eyes, the salt officer stood out from the crowd in a pile of coolies, promoted him to be a salt guard of salt, received martial arts training, and soon became the small leader of the thug team.

After years of hardship, my parents and hometown gradually left behind, and I passed the time in a drowsy. In the blink of an eye, he is nearly eighteen.

One year, Xiang Zhong, the head of the Xiang clan to which the Hu'an Mountain tribe belongs, that is, the father of Xiangshan, went to the salt spring of Funiu Mountain to deal with salt affairs. Hu'an Palace cultural and historical official Yu Yong likes to study and verify the history of the Dan Fushui area, this time he happened to go to the salt spring field trip with Xiang Zhong for free, and accidentally saw Park Tonghai with a dignified appearance, with excellent arm strength, and asked to know that it was Tongxiang Shanren's, so he strongly persuaded Xiang Zhong to buy Park Tonghai back for use.

Xiang Zhong saw Park Tonghai, and sure enough, as Yu Yong said, he was a usable person, and promised Yanqing Baduo a lot of money in exchange. Baduo looked at Park Tonghai, but he was just a dozen, there were not many of him, there were not many of him, and he had a good relationship with Xiang Zhong and got a lot of benefits, so he resold Park Tonghai to Xiang's family.

The slave who was bought with a lot of money was naturally not let him come to eat idle food, and when he returned to the Xiamen Xiangshi, Xiangzhong asked the master to carefully teach Pu Tonghai martial arts. At the twenty-one and twelfth years of Tonghai, he made military exploits, and Xiang Zhong removed his status as a subordinate child, and named him the word "Yancang".

Park Yancang is highly talented and diligent, plus he has some foundation before, and within a few years, he has become the top martial arts master in the Xiang clan, but because of his humble birth, he is just an ordinary samurai. When he was twenty-four or five years old, he made meritorious service and chose a beautiful girl in the clan to reward him as his wife. Yan Cang often said: "Xiang's and Yu's are my reborn parents." ”

From time to time, Park Yancang participated in the war with the Xiang clan many times, and then Xiangzhong and the eldest son Xiangde both passed away, and the second son Xiangshan participated in the war with Xiangzhong's second son.

After being appointed as the chief of five hundred, Park Yancang finally remembered that he was a native of Tongxiang Mountain, and returned to the Park clan with his wife, and was happy that his mother was still alive.

The mother and son have seen each other again for more than 20 years, as if they had been separated by a lifetime, and the joys and sorrows are self-evident.

His mother instructed: "Your wealth today is due to Master Yu Yong and Dr. Xiang Zhong. The great grace of the two clans, day and night should not be forgotten!"

Pu Yancang was originally a loyal and filial person, although he learned some miscellaneous habits in Yushui, he had greatly improved at this time, and said suddenly: "Mother can rest assured, the second family's great kindness, no teeth will not forget!"

β€”β€”Since then, Park Yancang has often participated in battles with Uncle Yu, made many military exploits, and has become more and more proficient in all things on the battlefield - and he will explain it later.
